There are three basic types of reaction:-active positive responses: taking care of the problem or turning the problem intobenefit/victory (leading to continuing the work)-passive responses: giving up or fleeing (leading to interrupting the work):-active negative response): struggle against the obstacle (leading to interrupting or continuingthe work depending on the outcome of the response).These three reactions correspond to the three modes of survival. The first requires consciousthinking and planning. The second and third are usually unconscious reactions that basicallycorrespond to the methods of survival in the animal world: freezing, fleeing and fighting.Requirements of the three modesThe routine work can be divided to

He headed the Commission until 1972 when he was appointed Director of theTraffic Engineering and Transportation Department of the Federal District (Mexico City). In1978, he organized his own consulting firm and continued to use the lessons he learned duringhis Fellowship regarding planning, traffic, and transportation studies and design until his illnesswhich lead to his untimely death in 1987.Rafael Cal y Mayor was the founder of the first chair in traffic engineering in the School ofEngineering at the University of Mexico.

In a comparison between the KTH initiative and these two international programs,many similarities exist, but the main differences is that the US programs are more focused oninternational experience and a global career, the KTH program has so far been more focusedon language skills and course exchange mainly, and to build on smaller incremental changesof the existing

. Webelieve that by using a “hybrid” or “blended” e-learning approach we will be able to addresssome of these concerns. It should be pointed out that among the recent published studies in thisarea, some define the hybrid as a combination of “face-to-face” and “asynchronous” 15-19 andsome like ours, as “synchronous” and “asynchronous” 20-21, where the synchronous part is a“face-to-face” or virtual face-to-face. This methodology is a special case of common hybriddelivery, where technology plays a more significant role, and at the same time, it is moredifficult to plan and administer. This approach can also be considered as enhanced distanceeducation, with some distinct differences/requirements and added features. These differenceswill be discussed

China, as the largest producer of engineeringgraduates in the world, has been encountering many challenges in the field ofengineering education and undergoing a series of engineering education reforms. Oneof the major problems lies in the oversupply of unqualified engineers and theundersupply of high-quality engineers [2]. Considering the challenges facing Chineseengineering education, the Chinese Ministry of Education (MoE) initiated the “Planfor Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers” (PETOE) in 2010 [3] and the“Emerging Engineering Education” (EEE) plan in 2017 [4].
